Young Queens Collection: The Curious Crown by Megan Hess Book Review

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Every year, I hear about all the Christmas themed books that people need to read. I personally don’t like to read Christmas themed novels near Christmas, but I love to read Christmas themed children’s book! I think it is a nostalgic thing, but as an adult and a fan of illustrations, I always love to look at the illustrations.

One of my favorite illustrators that are still publishing new books is Megan Hess. This year, she published another Christmas themed children’s book, bringing her total number of Christmas themed books to three. I already published a review post about the first book (You can read it here) but not for the second book. Since it is Blogmas, I decided to write a review post about Megan Hess’ second Christmas themed book, Young Queens Collection: The Curious Crown.

Book Review: Young Queens Collection: The Velvet Messenger by Megan Hess

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

It’s October 1st, which means Halloween is this month!

I own a few Halloween themed children’s books, but the one I picked to review this month is The Velvet Messenger by Megan Hess. It is a part of the Young Queens Collection book series. I like to occasionally collect Megan Hess’ books (I’ve slowed down my collecting a lot in the past few years) because I like her artwork.

Book Review- Young Queens Collection: A Most Mysterious Manor by Megan Hess

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

I really like to collect Megan Hess’ books, but my favorite books by her are her children’s books. I don’t have children, but I still enjoy buying children’s books whenever I find one I like. Usually I’m drawn to the illustrations. Sometimes it is the story. Still, I enjoy buying my favorites and adding them to my collection.

In the case of Megan Hess’ children’s books, I enjoy the art. I like the stories, but sometimes I don’t enjoy them as much as others. This is why when I discovered a new series by her, called Young Queens Collection, I felt unsure. Since it is a different series to her well known Claris, The Chicest Mouse in Paris collection, I didn’t know if I would like to start buying them and may enjoy them.

After a lot of consideration, I decided to give the series a try and decided to purchase and read the first book in the series: A Most Mysterious Manor.
